Football into the campus
Recently, our class has done a survey on the hot topic “Football into school”. Here is the result.
When Women Were “Ladies”
As late as 1800, women’s only place was in the home. The idea of women in the business world was unthinkable. No “nice” woman would d 1. of entering what was strictly a “man’s world”. Even if she could, what would she do? Men were positive that no women could deal with a job outside her home. This was such a w 2. accepted idea that when the famous Brontë sisters began writing books in 1846, they disguised (伪装) themselves by signing their books w 3. men’s names.
Teaching was the first profession (职业) open to women soon after 1800. But even so, that was not an e 4. profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College in Ohio was the first college in America to a 5. women.
Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Florence Nightingale became f6. . Because she was a wealthy and cultured woman, as well as a nurse, people began to believe it was possible for women to nurse the s 7. and still be “ladies”. Miss Nightingale opened England’s first training school for nurses in 1860.
The i 8. of the typewriter (打字机) in 1867 helped to bring women out of the home and into the business world. Because women had slender (纤细的), quick f 9. , they learned to operate typewriter quickly and well. Businessmen found that they had to hire women for this new kind of work.
By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in schools, hospitals, and offices in both England and America. Some women even m 10. to become doctors or lawyers. The idea that “nice” women could work in the business world had been accepted.
Helen Keller was an American educator and journalist, who became one of the leading humanitarians in the history of the United States. Born on June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, a small town in Alabama, Keller was stricken with a childhood disease that left her deaf, and blind. The illness Keller suffered (遭受) is a mystery to this day. Unable to see, or hear, Keller became difficult to deal with as her behaviour was described as wild by her family and friends.
Soon Keller and her family developed their own type of sign language that allowed them to communicate with each other. Helen’s mother needed help for her anguished (痛苦的) child, which eventually led to Anne Sullivan, who was a recent graduate (毕业生) of the Perkins Institute for the Blind. The school had been successful in the past in educating blind students, and Sullivan was one of its star graduates. Once Sullivan and Keller got through the difficult beginnings, their friendship, and association (合作) lasted for 49 years.
Keller was determined to become educated, and to teach herself to communicate. After attending several schools, she became the first deaf and blind person to earn a college degree. She became very well-known, and began a lecture tour where she made speeches on social and political issues, including women’s suffrage (选举权), and birth control. Also she required the government to raise awareness to the situation of the blind. She devoted much of her later life to raising funds for the American Foundation for the Blind.
On September 14, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the United States’ two highest civilian honours. In 1999, Keller was listed in Gallup’s Most Widely Admired People of the 20th century.
